Supergirl has arrived.

CBS and Warner Bros. have unveiled a FIRST LOOK at GLEE's Melissa Benoist in costume as the iconic character. Check it out below, via Deadline!

CBS' SUPERGIRL series is based on characters from DC Comics and will follow Kara Zor-El (Benoist), who comes to earth after escaping the destruction of Krypton. After many years hiding her abilities, she joins the ranks of her cousin Superman to become the hero she was meant to be. SUPERGIRL has already been given a series commitment.

Also in the cast are two former superheroes -- one-time Superman Dean Cain and Helen Slater, star of the 1984 film SUPERGIRL -- as well as Mehcad Brooks, Calista Flockhart, Chyler Leigh, David Harewood, Jeremy Jordan and Tony winner Laura Benanti.

SUPERGIRL marks a reunion for Flockhart and Greg Berlanti, who also executive produced NBC's PARENTHOOD. The pilot was written by Ali Adler ("No Ordinary Family") and Greg Berlanti ("Arrow," "The Flash"). They will also executive produce along with Sarah Schechter and Warner Bros. TV.
